Besides offering a haven of tranquility or a home base for your adventures, vacation homes also offer many owners a major source of income. A substantial number of vacation and second home owners rent their homes to vacationers. This rental income is not inconsequential. Some vacation rentals can go for as much as $12,000 or more per week. But, even the most desirable vacation properties in the most desirable vacation destinations have unrented weeks.
So, the vacation home sits empty and unused, and the owners of the vacation home consider the week a loss. This doesn’t have to be the case. That unrented week can be used in a home exchange, also called a home swap. By joining The Vacation Exchange Network, an unrented week in your vacation home enables you to take that trip you’ve been dreaming about, in the United States or around the world. And you can take your trip in an affordable way, avoiding the high cost of lodging.
You don’t have to wait for someone to use your home in order for you to make a home exchange. Unlike other home swap companies, you can travel when and where you want without having to find someone to use your home. Simply find a vacation home in our Network, or have our home exchange coordinators find one for you, and arrange to stay there for your vacation. The other home owner will receive an Exchange Credit to be used on a future vacation. Similarly, when you allow another Vacation Exchange Network member to use your vacation property, you’ll receive an Exchange Credit.
Home exchange is a great way try spring skiing in Colorado, Utah, or Vermont, to dust off those golf clubs in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, or to travel somewhere you’ve never been. Just browse through our vacation properties to get some ideas, and we’ll help you find that perfect vacation.
